We plan to start a series of meetings to cover technical topics related to the work being done in the SCA Applications group, and the LCLS data handling group. The initial goal will be to have a series of meetings where we will describe and discuss some of the work we are currently doing, or plans for things that we would like to do in the future. We hope that these meetings will stimulate discussion and make us all aware of what others are doing in the department. We will initially keep the attendance to the members of the groups mentioned above but may invite others interested in specific topics on a case-by-case basis.

We would like to schedule the first meeting sometime mid-May. We have created a doodle poll to select times. We will discuss scheduling future meetings during the first meeting. We may make the meetings remotely accessible if there is sufficient demand.

Potential Discussion topics (please add more)
